Alot to be excited about here. First off, the Brattle will be doing a B-movie series from November 5th to November 9th. The highlight will be Samuel Fuller's best movie in my opinion Pickup on South Street. Then they are honoring William Dafoe with a great list of movies: The Life Aquatic, Mississippi Burning, and The Last Temptation of Christ. Then both the Harvard Film Archive and the Brattle are showing a John Boorman series with Boorman in attendance for some of the movies at the Harvard Film Archive. This is a must attend. Boorman worked on such classic films as Deliverance, Zardoz, and Point Blank. The Brattle is also doing an Indiana Jones series showing movies that influenced Indiana. Also, they are showing all four Indiana Jones movies, but stay away from that last one unless you like tons of CGI gophers dancing around and gyrating. The Harvard Film Archive will be showing a very long list of Oshima movies. The most famous being In the Realm of Senses, which I've always wanted to see.

Saw some of the Oshima films here in NYC, where they played as a sidebar to the New York Film Festival. The must-see of the series-- in fact, my top pick of all the movies you've listed here-- is BOY (SHONEN). Great movie. It's also worth seeing his first "new wave" style movie, CRUEL STORY OF YOUTH, his stylish Imamura-like VIOLENCE AT NOON, and his perverse THE CEREMONY.
